Terminal-Bench-Science: A Benchmark for Evaluating AI Agents in Scientific Research
WeijiaShi2 · x · 2026-08-29
The Stanford-led Terminal-Bench community has released Terminal-Bench-Science, a benchmark designed to evaluate AI agents on research workflows across scientific domains.
- Context: Built by the Terminal-Bench team in collaboration with domain experts from research institutions worldwide, it aims to test agents' capabilities in handling scientific tasks.
- Data: Version 0.1 includes 70 tasks; currently, Claude Opus 5 solves only about 30% of them.
- Significance: This benchmark fills a gap in evaluating AI performance specifically within scientific workflows, providing a new standard for measuring Agent capabilities in research scenarios.
